An interesting study......

It does appear (to me) that this is just one study and it is talking about moderate weight loss in a fairly small sample.

We need more information about the prescribed diet and exercise to make a judgement, but it's good to keep an eye on research like this.

While we did not show a benefit of modest weight loss for cardiovascular events, we did show the benefits of weight loss for improving depression, quality of life, sleep apnea, incontinence, fitness, physical function and blood sugar control

They seem to suggest that weight loss is still generally a good thing in terms of general health for diabetics, but that other changes would be needed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events (stoke and heart attack).
